- Updating the firmware of your router will do to fix the issue.

Call your service provider.

i.e. Time Warner, Cox cable, Verizon, etc.

Talk to Tech Support. They'll run a line test and guide you through any problems.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best of luck!

Option 1 (easy)
you could buy a switch or router and put in line with your modem.
you will have to set up appropriate networking on the xbox
DSL --> MODEM --> SWITCH <-- PC
^---- XBOX

Option 2 (harder)
you could get a wired/wireless AP (Access Point) for your PC and run ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) through Windows. connect the XBOX through your PC

red light on DSL implies no ADSL communication to ISP. Check your phone line connection and make sure there are filters on all the other phone equipment in the home

PPPoE Configuration:

Protocol: PPPoE

Hope this helps.

Windows, if that's what you're using, may be connecting to a different router than yours. Verify that you're connecting to your access point.

Also, make sure there is a good connection between the router and your cable or dsl modem.

Finally, you can try connecting your computer to the router using an ethernet cable. That will at least let you verify that the computer and router work together, and you can configure the router and so forth. If connecting with a wire succeeds, that narrows the problem down to the wireless network connection.

Here's the manual. Troubleshooting is near the end, but it doesn't look like your specific problem is listed...
